You need to keep up, here's one from a month ago, there are plenty more.

What we need now is an Aussie coach who can shake up the club and use his contacts to attract the overseas quality players we need for next season.
Radford will pay for his failure to recognise he needed to refresh the first team squad and not retain several players who are clearly past their best.
We used to be the side teams feared home or away.Now our forwards are rolled every week and our bench is the weakest i have ever seen
I expect Radford will be gone by Easter replaced by an Australian coach with Gaz Ellis as his number two.

so, no proof.

After years of being on this site I would say that Wilde in fairness is one of the few who actually knows what he is talking about, and he's usually right!

Its common knowledge Brett Hodgson was signed up and sorted as Lee's choice for attacking coach but he gave back word in 2017 and went home. A further one was lined up but that came to nought for some reason which was on the Club side of the deal.

Fair enough, apologies to Wilde, would be interesting to know where "elsewhere" is, but I doubt Wilde will want to betray the trust of whomever told him/her.

Fully agree that the style of play has changed, much more movement around the ball & players running onto the ball at pace. Far less 'wasted' tackles as well.

Also agree this may have been forced or at least encouraged by lack of several of our middles, BUT it is being done so much more slickly than for a very long time that this must reflect a change of approach, or just some assistance in the attacking region.

IF this continues & our dreadnought pack resume dominance we used to have as well, then the rest of SL will really have to worry.

Come on u uuuuuullllllllllll !

I agree that we need an attacking coach and it would definitely benefit us, however I must say that I think we have shown some improvement in this area so far this season. We seem more willing to throw the ball around and we seem to have a lot more bodies in motion and dummy runners.

I agree there is a noticable change in our style of attacking play.Its obviously still work in progress as we still lose our way at times and see sets fizzle out to nothing.
I would still like us to turn teams round more with kicks into the in goal forcing repeat sets.
Sneyd kicking now to the corners without Connor in the centre or Talanoa on the wing is a waste of time.
I have said before the most noticable thing about the team this season if just how fit we are.

Yeah we are probably guilty of always trying to score a try on the last tackle when we're right on their line rather than just trying to build pressure with a grubber in goal. It's always a high kick to the corner. I suppose its what we've been good at over the last few years though. Sneyd can put the ball exactly where he wants and Connor and Tuli are 2 of the best in the league at taking those kicks in.
